Manganese complexes organic

The catalytic application of clays is related closely to their swelling properties. Appropriate swelling enables the reactant to enter the interlamellar region. The ion exchange is usually performed in aquatic media because the swelling of clays in organic solvents, and thus the expansion of the interlayer space, is limited and it makes it difficult for a bulky metal complex to penetrate between the layers. Nonaqueous intercalation of montmorillonite with a water-sensitive multinuclear manganese complex was achieved, however, with the use of nitromethane as solvent.139 The complex cation is intercalated parallel to the sheets. 

In photosynthesis, water oxidation is accomplished by photosystem II (PSII), which is a large membrane-bound protein complex (158-161). To the central core proteins D1 and D2 are attached different cofactors, including a redox-active tyro-syl residue, tyrosine Z (Yz) (158-162), which is associated with a tetranuclear manganese complex (163). These components constitute the water oxidizing complex (WOC), the site in which the oxidation of water to molecular oxygen occurs (159, 160, 164). The organization is schematically shown in Fig. 18. 

Nitroarenes are reduced to anilines (>85%) under the influence of metal carbonyl complexes. In a two-phase system, the complex hydridoiron complex [HFe,(CO)u]2-is produced from tri-iron dodecacarbonyl at the interface between the organic phase and the basic aqueous phase [7], The generation of the active hydridoiron complex is catalysed by a range of quaternary ammonium salts and an analogous hydrido-manganese complex is obtained from dimanganese decacarbonyl under similar conditions [8], Virtually no reduction occurs in the absence of the quaternary ammonium salt, and the reduction is also suppressed by the presence of carbon monoxide [9], In contrast, dicobalt octacarbonyl reacts with quaternary ammonium fluorides to form complexes which do not reduce nitroarenes. 

This iron complex, which is soluble in organic solvents, can be prepared in the pH range 6.5 to pH 5. No degradation to a2-[P2W17O61]10 and free heterometal was observed as in the case of the manganese complex.

The following segment on the reactivity of manganese complexes will be broken into two sections. The first will cover some of the areas that compose research into the reactivity of manganese-based systems as applied to a specific synthetic organic transformation. The second segment will concentrate on systems designed specifically to model the reactivity of particular enzyme systems. 

In conclusion, the reactivity of manganese complexes has proved to be a fertile area for research. It has provided new insights into the function of manganese-containing redox enzymes, and it has provided new synthetic techniques to the field of organic chemistry. 

In summary, oxidative radical reactions by other metals are less common than single-electron transfer to cerium(IV), iron(III), copper(II), and especially manganese(III) complexes. However, even for manganese(III) acetate and cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate the synthetic potential is not completely utilized. During the next few years, many new applications should arise, which will focus on stereoselective reactions and the synthesis of complex organic molecules.
